"Activision reiterated that although Bungie's amazing new world was revealed today, Activision has not included the launch in its 2013 outlook and there should be no speculation or expectation of a different result," reads a press release on the subject.

For reference, Activision's financial year runs alongside the calendar year (this year will end on December 31 2013), so you can take it as read that Destiny is heading for a 2014 release.
